Hi all,
New to OCUK but seeking advice.
I need a new PC as mine has sadly died and it was an Ivy Bridge setup from 2012 but I havent really kept up in that time and fully expected to go down the Intel route again but with Ryzen I see a way to do infrequent tasks I do such as video/image processing done better than a similarly priced Intel.
The Ryzen 1500X is no cheaper than an i5 7500 but I am torn as I have seen some memory issues with Ryzen in terms of frequencies and iffy game benchmarks?
Should just go all out with Ryzen as although my main focus will be games the fact it can cope well with video rendering and other multi threaded tasks is it worth the investment?
It looks like the motherboards may be a tad cheaper if I go down the B350 route but will I be missing out on any features?
As a new platform I am a tad concerned so was wondering how people have been getting on so far this week (and month with Ryzen 7) before I make a purchase...
Thanks
